Reaktionsschritte

To a mixture of 15.5 g. of 2-vinylnaphthalene and 300 ml. of chloroform, a 5 percent bromine in chloroform solution is added at -10° C until the bromine color persists. The mixture is then added to 200 ml. of ammonia containing 15 g. of sodium amide. The mixture is allowed to evaporate, acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid, and the residue is extracted with diethyl ether. The extracts are combined, washed to neutrality with water, dried, and evaporated to yield 2-ethynylnaphthalene.
